The use of sticks in Actor/Dance training

Sticks have been used to train performers in various cultures in both traditional and contemporary theatre- by Eugenio Barba`s Odin Teatret, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Jerzy Grotowski and Peter Brook`s International Centre For Theatre Research in Paris. Great for Teachers, Directors, Actors and Dancers, this is an exploration of varieties of stick work that can be used as warm ups, training and rehearsals alone or in groups.
